Chapter 24 The fourth quarter rush exam

The choices made by the "post-80s" often surprise their parents, and their unexpected actions will also surprise and even impress the Chinese people.In order to let the children spend their honeymoon happily, the parents of Li Qiang and Wang Hua spent considerable savings to let them travel in style.However, Li Qiang and Wang Hua did not think about their parents' attitude towards their suspension of travel, nor did they want to communicate with their parents. In order not to be disturbed, they were so "unfilial" that they did not seek their parents' opinions.It seems that the affairs of two people should be decided by two people, and there is no need to "ask for instructions and report".While watching TV, the two made an important decision in their lives: to suspend their honeymoon trip and fly to the disaster area to spend a special disaster relief honeymoon!They used their own special way to interpret their love and responsibility to human beings and society during the extraordinary period, and embarked on an extraordinary wedding journey!

On the way to Sichuan, the frail Wang Hua felt a little worried. She looked at Li Qiang affectionately and said, "My mother said that my limbs are not working hard, that I can't distinguish grains, that I have no strength to restrain a chicken, and that I am not qualified to be a working people. Can I be a good volunteer when I arrive in the disaster area? I won’t be your burden, right? Besides, how do we tell the old people when we go home? What if the old people don’t agree to it if we talk about it now!” Li Qiang smiled heartily and said, "Don't worry, my wife! If you really can't stand it after you arrive in the disaster area, my husband, I will promise to give birth to three heads and six arms, protect my beautiful wife, and let you go back to see your mother unscathed. As for whether the old people agree?" We do that, and as long as we keep it a secret from them when we go home, everything is fine."

What they heard and witnessed along the way were all reports and discussions related to the earthquake. The citizens were immersed in a sad atmosphere. The two of them looked at each other and interlocked their fingers in uneasiness and grief, and kept cheering each other on! At noon on the 13th, Li Qiang and Wang Hua arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport.As soon as they got off the plane, they were unexpectedly spiritually baptized.In the airport hall, many passengers kept putting all kinds of travel bags or daily necessities in large and small bags on the donation site. After a while, the items in the large donation site had piled up like a mountain.Passengers who spontaneously donated items did not leave their names or sign their names, and then proceeded on their way with light packs and simple donations.

The love in the donation site is silently piling up!Extending! !When Li Qiang and Wang Hua saw such a scene, their hearts were shocked again. They felt that their choice was right, and it was right not to ask their parents for advice.If the parents know about this, the old people who "protect the calf" will definitely not support their behavior. Even if the old people change their minds and support their righteous deeds, they will be restless and worried.Li Qiang and Wang Hua believe that when compatriots are in distress, silently offering love is the consensus of the Chinese people, and it is also the duty of every caring person.Being able to spend the sweetest day of life with the people in the disaster area is a very meaningful thing in the course of life that is worth remembering forever!

They arrived in Sichuan, but failed to get their wish.The two originally planned to go to Wenchuan, Beichuan and other first-line disaster areas for disaster relief, but their loving actions were dissuaded by the local government with good reasons.At that time, rescue troops from all walks of life rushed to the hardest-hit areas in Sichuan one after another, and the road traffic in Sichuan was facing tremendous pressure.Under such special circumstances, no vehicle or person can enter the hardest-hit area without a pass issued by the provincial government.So after discussing with each other, the two decided that it would be a worthwhile trip to do some work within their ability in Chengdu, Sichuan.

They learned that Chengdu Huaxi Hospital is a key hospital for the disabled in Dujiangyan, the earthquake-stricken area. Due to the large number of disabled people, the hospital's capacity is beyond the capacity of the hospital. .Li Qiang and Wang Hua went to Chengdu Huaxi Hospital to sign up as volunteers. After arriving at the hospital, they saw the disabled people in the disaster area and the relief materials from all over the country coming in continuously. The leaders of West China Hospital carried out an emergency mobilization of the whole hospital, gathering all forces and means to go all out to rescue the disabled people.

When Li Qiang and Wang Hua first arrived at the hospital, there were not many volunteers.The hospital is very short-handed and the tasks are heavy, and sometimes it has to work around the clock.Carrying stretchers, carrying the wounded, carrying mineral water, instant noodles...often without meals, running late into the night without rest.Li Qiang, who is strong and strong, was so tired in the face of complicated affairs that his limbs were sore and he couldn't straighten up. The petite and thin Wang Hua, who had never done heavy physical work, was even more hard-working.No wonder the groom is always full of pity for the bride in the process of saving lives and healing the wounded!

In Chengdu, where the earthquake had just passed, the citizens were still in shock, and the aftershock warning had not yet been lifted. The streets, parks, and open spaces by the river were all filled with anti-seismic tents.The colorful earthquake-resistant tents are like mushrooms growing all over the streets.Especially in the evening, under the shining of the setting sun, the "mushrooms" are constantly spreading.The citizens occupied all the vacant land, except that no one was vying for land on the road.The two had no time or materials to build a tent, and they were afraid that going to a high-end hotel in the distance would delay their work or make other volunteers feel uncomfortable.After a tiring day in the hospital, they dragged their exhausted bodies and lived in a small hotel near the hospital at night, sleeping with their clothes on.Due to the extremely tiring work during the day, they are often too tired to wash up.For several days in a row, the two of them didn't take a hot bath, which was the first time in their lives.Especially Wang Hua, who is usually spoiled and spoiled at home, and her mother supervises her to take a bath every night, and it has become a habit over time.She usually cannot sleep at night without taking a bath.But when she arrived in Chengdu, Sichuan, she forgot this good habit, and she didn't know itching when she developed prickly heat.What makes them even more memorable is that they did not have a peaceful night's sleep during that extraordinary period.The aftershocks that kept visiting often woke the two from their sleep.A few times they just closed their eyes when someone outside the window yelled that there was an earthquake, the voices were chaotic, and they ran out screaming, making their bodies in a state of high tension after undergoing high-load and high-intensity labor. state.It was in this kind of atmosphere of the earthquake area that was full of fear, fear, and panic all day long, they persevered and endured an unforgettable honeymoon, and gained experiences and touches that are worth remembering for a lifetime.

After the newlyweds arrived in the earthquake zone, they witnessed the enthusiasm and growth of the volunteer army.Volunteers from all over the country flocked to Sichuan and joined their ranks without hesitation.Among them are business owners with tens of millions of assets, students in school, literary workers, people in the entertainment industry, and laid-off workers... Many volunteers braved the threat of aftershocks, put down their jobs, and overcame all difficulties and dangers. Send money, goods, and love to disaster-stricken areas!Many volunteers only left a return ticket when they left the disaster area, and donated all the money and goods they brought with them to the people in the earthquake area.Some people even took off the watches on their wrists and took out the mobile phones from their pockets for the people in the earthquake area.After experiencing the suffering of the people in the earthquake area and witnessing many tear-jerking stories of disaster relief volunteers, Li Qiang and Wang Hua were shocked and baptized again and again. Their young and lively hearts truly realized what great love is Speechless, what is boundless love.

Of course, they also saw that some "volunteers" did not want to show their love to the people in the disaster area, but wanted to make money from the disaster.Some people went deep into the disaster area as volunteers, nominally helping the people in the disaster area, but actually stealing wealth for personal gain.Once, when Li Qiang was helping a disabled person organize his belongings, a volunteer walked up to him and said, "Let me do it! Go do something else." Li Qiang was a little surprised. When the hospital's logistics department assigned tasks, he had never seen this volunteer, nor heard that other volunteers were assigned to help the disabled organize their belongings.When Li Qiang looked at the volunteer again, he found that he was looking around and seemed very nervous, unlike a down-to-earth person who came to work.Li Qiang pretended to leave his post and monitored his behavior from the corner of his eye.Sure enough, when this person was sorting out his belongings, he put the valuables in his pocket.As soon as he put a gleaming silver platinum necklace into his pocket, Li Qiang rushed over and grabbed the necklace and said, "Is there any support left? Don't smear the faces of the volunteers here. The people in the disaster area do something and try their best, but you—”

The "volunteer" blushed and said with trembling hands, "Brother, I don't dare anymore! I'm not human, if I do this kind of thing again, you'll kill me!" The man took something out of his pocket as he spoke, and shed tears. Li Qiang originally wanted to send him to the police station, but when he saw how he changed his past, he was moved with compassion.Li Qiang pointed at him and said, "Get out of here as far away as possible, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the volunteers." The fake volunteer saw that Li Qiang was furious, pointing his hand at him like a pistol aimed at his head. He knew that he was in a dangerous situation at this time, so he bowed to Li Qiang and fled in a hurry. With volunteers from all over the country rushing to Sichuan one after another, the honeymoon vacation between Li Qiang and Wang Hua is coming to an end.At the end of May, after donating all their money and goods, the newlyweds dragged their exhausted bodies back to Shandong. Back home, they were relieved, and finally took a hot bath. The two of them were unable to relive the passion at the beginning of their honeymoon. After falling asleep for two days, they cheered up and rushed to the unit to go to work. Li Qiang did not distribute wedding candies as usual after work, which made his colleagues very puzzled.In the past, all married young people in the unit gave out wedding candies to let colleagues share their happiness. At the same time, everyone also gave a congratulatory gift, which was regarded as a blessing to the couple, which can be said to be a "win-win".Only this time Li Qiang was an exception. Not only did he not distribute the wedding candies, but he frowned every day, as if someone owed him money.This abnormal behavior puzzled everyone, and his colleagues privately commented that he was too stupid and stingy.There are also people who consciously saw the strangeness in it, hesitated to speak, and seemed mysterious.Some people pretended to be concerned and asked about his wedding journey, but they actually reminded him to distribute wedding candy to everyone, or to detect news worth spreading.Li Qiang always had a serious face, and stopped talking in a few words, making everyone confused.Someone suddenly mentioned that seeing the bride was also very unhappy. Everyone thought that Li Qiang's marriage was unhappy, and something unknown must have happened during the honeymoon.The knot in the hearts of colleagues could not be untied, and some people speculated that the two would break up soon.Some people even said that this kind of thing happened at the Industrial and Commercial Bank across the street.Amid speculation and discussion, everyone was waiting for the day when Li Qiang announced the dissolution of his marriage.Someone was already secretly preparing to help Li Qiang find a "continued string". Even Li Qiang asked a woman to have dinner with him, and everyone guessed that they met as friends on the surface, but actually had other purposes.When colleagues in the office talked about the disaster of the Wenchuan Earthquake, Li Qiang's eyes could not help but burst into tears, and the colleagues were very surprised.Although Li Qiang is young and mischievous, he is strong and decisive in situations, and he can be regarded as a manly "big boy". How can he be so emotionally fragile during the earthquake?At first everyone thought his marriage was unlucky, which might be an excuse, but later everyone felt that there was something wrong, why did he cry when the earthquake was mentioned?After being repeatedly questioned by his colleagues, Li Qiang finally couldn't help telling what he had seen and heard when he went to Sichuan for his special honeymoon.Because it was a personal experience, what he said was true, vivid and touching, which made his colleagues empathize and admire him.Li Qiang said with tears in his eyes: "If you have been to the scene, you will be able to truly feel the insignificance of our human beings, the fragility of life, and the power of unity and love..." Only then did my colleagues know that the newlyweds went to Sichuan as volunteers during their honeymoon.Some people are ashamed of their disgraceful guesses, and ashamed of the bad nature of the Chinese people who are so good at telling stories.A colleague couldn't help asking: "You guys had a good honeymoon in Hong Kong, why did you suddenly think of volunteering in the disaster area?" Li Qiang replied sincerely: "It should be the impact of the disaster and the traction of responsibility! Our original intention was to do some practical things for the people in the disaster area. Unexpectedly, our thoughts will be sublimated after we go, which will have a huge impact on our lives! "
